1. Adjustment of the Gap Between the Print Head and the Platen
1-1. Measuring the Gap Between the Print Head and the Platen
1. Remove the ribbon base as described in chapter 2.
[1]
2. Remove the ribbon separator [1] as described in
chapter 2.
Fig. 1-1 Removing the Ribbon Separator
2. Insert a thickness gauge [2] between the print head

[3] and the platen [4] and measure the gap. [2]
3. Measure the thickness at positions Left and Right. [3] [4]
0.45 to 0.50 mm are the reference values for the gap.
If the gaps at these positions along the platen are not
within this range, adjust the gap using the procedures
described in section 1-2.

1-2. Adjusting the Gap Between Print Head and the Platen
1. Raise and lower the adjusting bushing [5] on the left
side to adjust the left head gap.
2. Raise and lower the adjusting bushing [6] on the right
side to adjust the right head gap. -

3. Check the gap at all measuring positions in section

1-1.
4. If the gap is not between 0.45 and 0.50 mm at step3,
repeat steps 1 through 2. + [6]
5. Install the ribbon holder [1].

2. Adjustment of the Dot Aligment
1. Set the roll paper.

2. Press the FEED switch on the printer's control panel while turning the power switch ON.
3. Enter the Adjusting the dot alignment mode by releasing the FEED switch after the buzzer sounds twice.
4. After entering the adjusting the dot alignment mode, a printout of the adjustment patterns similar to the printout
below will be printed. The asterisk indicates the current adjustment pattern.
Fig. 1-5 Dot Alignment Adjustment Sample 1
5. To adjust, use the FEED switch to select the adjustment pattern from the printout with the smallest gap between
the first printing pass and the return printing pass. Press the FEED switch once to specify the first adjustment pattern,
twice to specify the second adjustment pattern, and so on up to seven times to specify the seventh adjustment pattern.
Press and hold the FEED switch the last time you press the switch.
(For example, if you want to select the fourth adjustment pattern, press the FEED switch three times.
Then, press and hold the FEED switch until the long buzzer sounds.)
There are only seven adjustment patterns. The buzzer will sound each time the FEED switch is pressed.
However, if you press the FEED switch more than seven times, a warning alert will sound.
After setting the adjustment pattern, a printout with the selected adjustment pattern highlighted and the
message Adjust Completed! will be printed.
4
Fig. 1-6 Dot Alignment Adjustment Sample 2
6. After the printout is printed, the printer settings will be entered into the nonvolatile memory of the printer.
When the settings are entered into memory, the long buzzer sounds once more, and the dot alignment
mode is complete.
Note: While the long buzzer is sounding, the printer settings are entered into the nonvolatile memory.
Do not turn the power off. If the power is turned off while the printer settings are being entered
into the nonvolatile memory, all of the memory switch settings will be reset.

3. Adjustment of the Black Mark Sensor Alignment
1. Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the screws. Then, remove the DIP switch cover on the bottom of the printer.

Fig. 1-7 Adjustment Volume
3. Since it is adjusted by rotating the volume VR22, check the position of the volume. Prepare a small slotted
screwdriver that will fit in the hole.
4. Set the roll paper not for black mark.
5. Press the FEED switch on the printer's control panel while turning the power switch ON.
6. Enter the black mark sensor adjustment mode by releasing the FEED switch after the buzzer sounds four times.
7. Rotate the volume VR22 using micro screwdriver, to adjust it to a position whereat both the ERROR (red LED)
and the POWER (green LED) lamps light.
8. Turn the power OFF.
This completes the black mark sensor adjustment.

Notes for reassembly:

When shipped, the black mark detector is mounted in
a position to detect the left edge of 76 mm paper and
black marks on the printing side of the paper, but it can
also be mounted in five other locations.
To detect 57.5 mm wide recording paper and black
marks in different positions, move the detector to the
corresponding position.
2 At position 4, the detector can detect the right edge of
5
76 mm wide paper and black marks on the reverse side
of the paper.
1 Place the board assembly 2 on the paper guide A
4 or the paper guide B 5 so that the boss 6 is
aligned with the board hole 7, and then tighten the
screw 1 .
There are two positioning holes to align to the boss.
They are the N and F holes. F is for position 4 only.
All others use hole N. (See the page below.)

1. Maintenance
In order to maintain the optimum performance of this printer and to prevent trouble, maintenance must be carried out
according to the following items.
1-1. Cleaning
(1) Removal of dirt
Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth soaked in alcohol or benzine.
Note: Do not use thinner, trichlene or ketone solvents because they may damage plastic parts. Also during
cleaning, be careful not to moisten or damage electronic parts, wiring, or mechanical parts.
(2) Removal of dust, pile, etc.

Vacuum cleaning (with an electric cleaner) is preferred. Remove all dust, etc., inside the printer.
Note: After cleaning, check the oil level. If it is not adequate due to cleaning, replenish it.
1-2. Checks
Checks must be carried out at two levels: a daily check which the operator can easily carry out during operation, and
a periodic check which an expert should carry out.
(1) Daily check

When the printer is used on a daily basis, check that the printer is used properly. Make sure that the printer is
operating under the best conditions.
Is the cartridge ribbon set at the right position?
Is there any foreign matter inside the printer? (Remove if any.)
Is the print head getting excessively dirty?
(2) Periodic check

After 6 months or printing 1 million lines, the periodic check and lubrication must be carried out.
Check for deformation of springs.
Check the gap between the platen and the print head.
Remove dust, dirt, etc., around the detectors.
1-3. Preventing Paper Jams and Removing Jammed Paper
(1) Preventing Paper Jams

Do not touch the paper while feeding or when printing.
Holding down or pulling on paper while feeding or when printing is the cause of paper jams and mis-line feeds.
18
(2) Removing Jammed Paper
Remove jammed paper using the following procedures.
Cut the paper from the paper roll near the paper insertion inlet.
Gently pull out the paper near the discharge outlet, lifting it upward to remove the jammed paper.
Note 1: When removing the paper, always pull the paper in the forward direction. Pulling it reverse (pulling the
paper near the paper insertion inlet) will tear the paper inside of the printer or damage the printer.
Note 2: When removing paper, handling the paper carefully so that it is not torn. If the paper does get torn when
removing it, do not leave any paper scraps or pieces of paper inside of the printer.

2. Lubrication
Lubrication is very important to maintain optimum performance and to prevent trouble.
2-1. Lubricant
The type of lubricant greatly affects the performance and durability of the printer, especially in a low temperature
environment. We recommend use of the grease and lubrication oils listed below for this printer.
Type of oil Product name Maker

Grease Molykote EM-30L Dow Corning Corporation
Lubricant Mobil 1 Mobil Oil Co., Ltd.
2-2. Lubricating Method

When lubrication is carried out in assembly and disassembly, wash parts well to remove dust and dirt before lubrication.
Lubrication must be carried out regularly once every 6 months or after 1 million lines have been printed. Lubrication is
necessary irrespective of the regular lubrication whenever lubricant becomes deficient after cleaning or whenever parts
have been disassembled or replaced.

*1: New type parts cannot be mounted on old type parts, nor can old type parts be mounted on new type parts.
Always replace with parts of the same type.
Drawing numbers 5, 7 and 10 are old type parts and cannot be supplied even if ordered. Also, drawing number
32 that uses only old type parts cannot be supplied even if ordered. Therefore, to replace even just one of these
parts, replace with all new type parts.
For example, if the old type parts in drawing number 7 are broken, replace not only drawing number 7, but also
drawing numbers 5, 10 and 28 with new type parts.
To determine whether those parts are old or new type ones, check the serial numbers (12 digits) on the label fixed
to the bottom of the printer.
If the serial numbers are the numbers below, they are old type parts. All others are new type parts.

x represents numbers from 0 to 9.
